Upper Makefield police said Wednesday that they’ve ended the active search for 9-month-old Conrad Shields, who was swept away in a flash flood earlier this month that killed his 2-year-old sister, his mother, and four others.

Upper Makefield Township police said in a Facebook post Sunday that although 2-year-old Matilda Sheils had been “brought home to her loving family” after her body was recovered Friday, officials are “devastated that we have not yet been able to reunite Conrad with his sister and family.”

The children are members of a South Carolina family that was visiting relatives when they got caught in a flash flood Saturday that claimed the lives of five people, including the mother of the missing children.

Officials said at least one of the seven roommates who lived with Kimbrady Carriker told investigators he was wearing a tactical vest in the days before the shooting and had guns in the house.

Kimbrady Carriker, 40, was arraigned Wednesday on five counts of murder as well as charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault, and weapons counts. Police believe Carriker was firing randomly at victims.

Police said the suspect is believed to have acted alone and had no connection to the victims before Monday’s shooting.

Five people were killed and two boys were also wounded in the Monday night shooting spree in southwest Philadelphia that made the city the site of the nation’s worst violence around the July 4 holiday.

The shootings took place over several blocks in the southwest part of the city. Officers chased the suspect as he continued to fire, and he was arrested in an alley after giving himself up.

When the USPS began requiring carriers to deliver packages on Sundays, Gerald Groff told his employers that he couldn’t work on the Lord’s Day and demanded off. On Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled in Groff’s case that workers who ask for religious accommodations should receive them.

Bryan Kohberger of Monroe County is charged with four counts of murder in connection with the stabbing deaths at a rental house near the Moscow, Idaho, university campus last November.
